A Message from our Board of Directors

Thank you, A big thanks to everyone who came to the 2019 Tucson Celtic Festival & Scottish Highland Games.

After careful consideration, discussion and investigation it is with extreme regret that the TCFA Board of Directors will be canceling the 2020 festival.

The Board studied the potential impact from all of the mitigating circumstances due to the Covid-19 pandemic. After communicating with various sources it was concluded that the health risk, the current loss of incomes of families, the likelihood of vendors & participants losing money and the unknown near future would make the festival impossible to enjoy as we know and love it.

Thank you for your support and understanding in this time of concern and uncertainty. We appreciate you and can't wait to see all of you in November of 2021.
